I’m going to be live on Vocalo.org today at 4pm central and for the next four Wednesday afternoons talking with their host and doing some interviews about video games. We’ve got a lot of fun things planned, including today, an interview with a psychologist who’s done research into video games and violence (not to mention that he’s also my gaming buddy), and later on, a pro gamer, video game industry veterans, and at the end of the month we’ll be doing an actual World of Warcraft instance run, right there on the air. It will be a lot of fun for sure.

Vocalo is a sister station of WBEZ here in Chicago, who also produce the famous NPR programs This American Life and Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. I’ve been meaning to get involved with them for a while (they accept audio from everyone who submits it on their website, and I’ve been looking into working with them ever since I heard about them from a friend who works there), but it turns out that this is actually a product of my own work online: they called me out of the blue a while back and said they wanted to do some video game-related events and interviews during the month of July here. Very cool to have my own plans to get in touch with them, and then suddenly hear from them instead.

So yes, please tune in and give us a listen — you can hear it online over at Vocalo.org, or if you happen to be in Chicago, you can bring it up on a radio at 89.5FM. Should be a lot of fun for sure.
